About 12 City Road

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

12 City Road is a two-bedroom mid-terrace house in Wigan (WN5 0DR). It has a recorded floor area of 73 m² (around 786 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A.

Between certificates, window efficiency went from Average to Good and lighting went from Good to Very Good. The recommended improvements would push it to B (score 91).
